2018 Workshop on Autonomy for Future NASA Science Missions

Autonomy is changing our world; commercial enterprises and academic institutions are developing and deploying drones, robots, self-driving vehicles and other autonomous capabilities to great effect here on Earth. Autonomous technologies will also play a critical and enabling role in future NASA science missions, and the Agency requires a specific strategy to leverage these advances and infuse them into its missions. To address this need, NASA sponsored the 2018 Workshop on Autonomy for NASA Science Missions, held at Carnegie Mellon University, October 10-11, 2018.
